A new toy

    So today I am sitting outside, smoking a cigarette and enjoying the rare warmth in this region this late in fall. Spent most of the morning tinkering away on my new little tablet and figuring out all the bells and whistles, and now I'm sitting down using it to type this blog. It is going to take a while to get used to not having a physical keyboard but its not that bad, the tablet is large enough for two hand typing so that allows for less errors in my strokes. I am finding my free time more and more devoured by my work schedule, working seven days a week in excess of sixty hours or so. The money is good but it is exceptionally taxing on my mind, oh well that just just gives me more fuel for this blog.

    My thoughts recently have been filled with the general disdain for humanity, typical fair, and the desire to understand how people can be so stupid. My line of work affords me the opportunity to see people at crucial points in their life that require heavy decision making and I see them more often than not making the poorest decisions. It's frustrating when you come to the realization that if these people would take two seconds to look at the long term they would see how disastrous the outcome they are heading towards. I just want to reach over and start shaking them by the neck yelling ''Wake up you stupid fucks and get you heads out of your asses''.

    On a less headache inducing note I have decided to go full on with this blog: making a twitter, Google, and in the process of working up a website for all of this. While blogging is not my long term career goal, its a step in a journalism career and putting myself out there as much as I possibly can. I also want to get a good professional quality camera for good measure, a costly endeavor but worth it I think in the long run. I have one interview under my belt and I need more, and the only way people will take me seriously for an interview is if I look professional. I have a convention coming up in march and I will see what I can pull out of my ass.

I think that is all for today, I have to get ready for work and slave away my brain cells. Strangely enough I like this job, let's me harness my inner cynic.
